Version 20.11.28 Details

Version 20.11.28 of @types/node represents a minor update to the TypeScript definitions for Node.js, succeeding version 20.11.27. Both versions share the identical core dependencies, relying on undici-types at version ~5.26.4 to provide type definitions related to the Undici HTTP client. This indicates a continued commitment to compatibility and consistency in how Node.js's built-in modules interact with external HTTP requests. The licensing remains under the MIT license, ensuring broad usage rights for developers. As part of the DefinitelyTyped project, these definitions are maintained in the specified GitHub repository, implying these are community-vetted.

The primary differences between the two versions seem subtle but potentially impactful which are the unpacked size and release date. Version 20.11.28 was released on March 15, 2024, while the previous version was released two days prior, on March 13, 2024. The newer version presents a minimal increase of 78 bytes in unpacked size (2005755 vs. 2005677), possibly representing small adjustments to existing type definitions or the inclusion of a few new ones. Both version contain the same amount of files. This small increment could encompass bug fixes, improvements to existing type signatures for enhanced code completion or stricter type checking, or the addition of types for recently introduced Node.js features. Developers should likely upgrade for the enhanced correctness this offers and to align with the most up-to-date type information, even if the changes appear minor on the surface. These definitions are vital for TypeScript developers working with Node.js, providing static typing for built-in modules and enabling a smoother development experience with richer tooling support.
